The raging waves of red lava lashed the city walls crazily. Standing alone in the sea of magma, the city seemed in danger of being swallowed by the lava at any moment. [First published on the Internet]
Lai Siyu stood on the shore of the lava sea, where waves occasionally crashed against the shore. Heat surged through the void, distorting the surrounding air.
On a dangerous cliff by the shore, two old men were sitting cross-legged with a fish basket beside them. The two men were fishing.
That’s right, Lai Siyu was not mistaken, the two old men were indeed fishing.
Fishing in an ocean formed by lava!
The two old men seemed not to notice her. They sat quietly on the dangerous rock, concentrating on every movement of the fishing rods in their hands.
"Master, let's make a bet and see if these two old men can catch any fish."
The sound of the Panlong Sword came into Lai Siyu's mind, and she immediately had a few black lines on her head. Damn, she had just praised it for being reliable.
"No bet!" She was practically crazy to bet against her own sword spirit! Even if she won, so what? It was hers to begin with, what could she possibly lose? As for losing, sorry, the word "lose" didn't even exist in this girl's vocabulary.
"But master..." The sword spirit was still trying hard. He didn't want it to gamble. He felt itchy inside.
"I bet you!" At this time, the little yellow book spoke, and the sword spirit immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, I bet they can't catch any fish. How can there be fish in the magma?"
"Well, since you bet they can't catch it, I'll bet they can. So, how do we settle the bet?"
"How do you want to calculate it?"
"If you win, I'll let you take a bite. If I win, I'll let you take a bite!"
"make a deal!"
Xiaohuangshu and Jianhun quickly reached a consensus. Lai Siyu shouted angrily, "What's wrong with you two? I, your master, didn't agree, and yet you guys got together! Did I allow you to gamble?"
"You little girl, Grandpa isn't slacking off at work. He's just taking advantage of his free time in the recreation room to have some fun. You're still interfering. Be careful, Grandpa might get upset and go on strike!"
"Hey, Master, we're gambling behind closed doors, so we don't want to let outsiders have access to the wealth. Please be kind and turn a blind eye and let us gamble!"
Lai Siyu: Sword Soul, can’t you see that I’m doing this for your own good?
Damn it, I don’t care anymore!
Ignoring her two useless artifacts, Lai Siyu sat cross-legged on the shore, quietly observing the two elderly men fishing. Although the Earth Fire City was right before her eyes, she didn't want to rush in. After all, she wasn't familiar with the place.
The two old men fishing were obviously very surprised. The gates of Dihuo City were closed, and no one was coming in or out. Outside Dihuo City, within a radius of ten thousand miles, there were only these two old men and Lai Siyu.
The two old men fishing looked quite peaceful, and they didn't give off any uncomfortable aura, but Lai Siyu felt in her heart that they were not simple, even dangerous.
Even with the Bagua Plate, she couldn't see through the two old men's cultivation. That was why she was even more wary of them.
The damn Bagua plate actually said that it was difficult to see through the cultivation of these two people, and it must replenish energy.
What kind of behavior is this? Is this just naked blackmail?
I don't know what's wrong. Even though she has such good character, none of her spirit beasts and magic weapons are reliable.
Xiaobai is a little better, but he is too timid.
Why……
But in this situation, she didn't dare to run. Putting aside whether she could escape if the two old men were hostile to her, just looking at the environment here, where could she run to?
So since these two guys have already made the bet, she will just stay here and wait and see.
From the scorching sun to the setting sun, the two old men didn't catch a single fish.
The Sword Spirit laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha~ You're about to lose, you lousy book? Just hand it over to me and let me take a bite!"
"Why are you so anxious? She hasn't even put down her pole yet. Besides, she doesn't seem to want to leave yet. You'd better just wait patiently."
"Hmph, what are you waiting for? You've already lost anyway. Just wash yourself and offer yourself to me. I'll be gentle with you! Ahahahahaha..."
Lai Siyu: You're saying this to make people think the wrong thing, okay? I said you two are both male, are you really going to be gay?
However, the arrogant voice of the Sword Spirit did not last long. As the fishing rods of the two old men on the dangerous rock moved strangely, its voice stopped abruptly.
"It's bitten, it's bitten!"
"Hahahaha, it's been so many years, and finally a fish is biting!"
"That's right. Time doesn't exist in a sea of fire. It's been almost two million years, and finally a fish has taken a bite!"
The fishing rods in their hands trembled violently as the fish under the lava bit the hook. It seemed that the fish under the lava were resisting fiercely.
Lai Siyu silently lit a candle for the Sword Soul in her heart. No fish had taken the bait for two million years, but they caught one as soon as they arrived. What kind of luck did the Sword Soul have?
Now it was Xiaohuangshu's turn to be arrogant, "Boy, just wash yourself well and wait for grandpa to come to you!"
Lai Siyu held her forehead weakly, "Little porn book... You'll die if you don't talk in a powerful way!"
Ripples rippled across the surface of the sea. The two old men excitedly reeled in their fishing rods. The fish beneath the lava struggled more and more violently. Waves gradually rose from the sea, rising higher and higher, one after another, crashing against the dangerous rocks.
Lai Siyu flipped her hand and drew out the Panlong Sword. She shook her wrist and the sword flashed. Tens of thousands of fiery red sword auras surrounded her and isolated the surging waves.
Looking at the two old men on the dangerous rock, the lava waves could not get close to them at all, and they receded two meters away from them.
"You're being too naughty, no matter how much you struggle, it's useless now that you've taken our bait!"
The two old men extended a finger and lightly pointed it at the sea surface. This single finger contained the boundless pressure of heaven and earth, but with just a light touch, the entire sea surface instantly returned to calm.
Even the waves outside the Earth Fire City disappeared in an instant.
The lava sea was like a naughty child in front of the two old men. When it saw that the old men were angry, it calmed down obediently, fearing that it would accidentally make some move that would anger the old men.
With a casual lift of their hands, their fishing lines hauled up a long string of fish of varying sizes from the surface of the sea. Lai Siyu glanced over and saw hundreds of bright red fish taking bites on both of their rods. A closer look revealed a surprising number of hidden, empty hooks on their lines.
Oh shit, who is this person?
It was the first time she had seen such fishing gear. One-third of the fishing line was covered with hooks.
The key point is that there are actually hundreds of fish that will bite the hook at the same time. I don’t know what is the temptation on the hook that makes these fish unable to resist the temptation and take the bait at the same time.
